WeetBix KiD Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 MaKys mum got bitten by a red back (black widow) when gardening. She said it was like giving birth all over again lolOnly tip I have is look under everything outside. Those buggers will hide in all holes, shoes anywhere they fit Quote
Heretic121 Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I hate nothing more than spiders, I will run and scream like a little girl haha.. It takes a man to admit that Ph0enix! I also would be utterly terrified if I happened upon any spider... except a money spider, or a similar sized one. Quote
StealthNinja Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 I HATE spiders!!!! I agree with Ph0enix when ever i see spider i screem. Than my younger brother just comes and stands on it (of course he isn't scared of them.) Quote
BAMA Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Black Widow spiders are not all that bad unless it's female. I have bitten twice and got bad headache, severe pain at the bite with swelling but went away couple days later. The doctor here says it was male that got me,so no fear of death. Quote
WeetBix KiD Posted June 5, 2013 Posted June 5, 2013 Yeah the females are the killers, and the easiest to recognise. They are the ones with the red on their backs, the male are just black. Make sure you look in everything though, Even if you leave a shoe outside, give it a shake before you put it on. They are sneaky. I found one on the side of the bath tub as I was bathing my kids.

LainTime/Bazingaa^_- Posted June 6, 2013 Author Posted June 6, 2013 False alarm! Read some days later that the article was from 08 and that it was just full of shit! so now i dont have to worry about it :D *Happy Panda!!!* Quote
Death_Reincarnated Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Here in AUSTRALIA we have three most deadly spiders - 'Red-back', 'White-tail' and 'Funnel-web'. The red-back is from the same family as the black-widow spider. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redback_spider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_spider http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_funnel-web_spider Quote
